Not Quite Got the Hang Of It

We handed out a few small gifts to the hotel staff on Christmas Eve and I think everyone appreciated our quaint "Christian" custom.  However, the guys don't seem to understand that just because we did so they are obliged to reciprocate.  Since then we have received all kinds of wonderful presents from luxury soap, to exotic fruit baskets and to traditional good luck desserts, which are given to encourage good health, wealth and happiness.

OK, they are intended as New Year's gifts but the point remains, those that have the least offer the most and we are truly touched at the generosity.  The Imm Fusion Hotel, where we live for half of the year and proudly call the staff our friends- which takes care of the "happiness" part.

Wifey's hand is responding to the physio exercises which is slow and painful but heading in the right direction, so we have the "health" issue sorted (almost).  So that just leaves the "wealth" bit.

Ah yes, as they say "two out of three ain't bad"- and with the Baht now closing down onto 45 to the pound, it looks like that one will be eluding us.  *sigh*
